International law, is time and again questioned on the basis of its ambiguity and span. Jurists doubted it as true law and called it as a vanishing point of jurisprudence but it remains undoubtedly the most important branch of law governing individuals through the States. In todays time when borders and territories are more porous than even and no country is self-dependent, international law is the need of time. The law always evolves from a course and as any other law international law has its own sources. Treaties are one of such sources of international law and being the most well structured and codified, they generate the majority of State actions in their international dealing. Treaties are referred by international Court of justice many a times to ascertain the source of law so that the object and nature of the law in question can be derived effectively. Still international law is in the phase of metamorphosis and need of more concrete sources cannot be denied.
